Here is my recent haul from amazon.fr

rickah88 · 03-08-2013, 11:58 AM

Nice pics, and very nice haul!
Jesus Christ, why can't the US or UK get these?? It totally baffles me. I guess I can, somewhat, understand the UK as they got the Steelbook version....but my goodness....why are US studios not willing to make money on these things in the US??
Christ, they re-dip the hell out of every other title in existance!! But no, they can't re-dip on packaging that people actually WANT!!!

End of rant.

They'd rather make steelbooks since it's cheaper. Which is annoying because i dont really care about steelbooks (besides for a couple films of course)

You folk in the US at least get all those lovely Warner digibooks so be happy about that.

I'm not sure of the cost breakdown, but I wouldn't think a steelbook(a good one with interiort artwork) would cost more than printing out a digibook.
As for the WB digibooks available, if you exclude every one that is widely available, the US is far, far behind: France, Germany, and Japan when it comes to digibooks.
Not sure where you're from, so I wouldn't be able to cross reference.

I'm from Denmark but i buy most if not all films from UK and America.

Ok. I thought I recall you saying you were Denmark. Hey didin't you guys get these digibooks with English text? Is that normal for Denmark to get English text in their digibooks? Or at least, I thought both Batman Begins & The Dark Knight Premiums digibooks were in English?
If that's the case, you and I could be help each other out with some trades!

Sorry man. The only digibooks we've ever gotten are the Universal 100th Anniversary ones that were released last year...

Though i think DVDoutlet.nl still ships internationally, just tell them to use extra protection.

I dont know if the French digibooks are in English or not, but if they are just get them from Amazon.fr

Ok, I thought that being in Denmark you would have a good chance at getting the Holland Premiums, and they all appear to be in English.

rickah88 · 03-09-2013, 12:11 AM

Well it's official: I hate myself!

Just kidding, but I totally went against my #1 Digibook rule and bought a non-English digibook!
I couldn't resist, AmazonDE is having a sale on a lot of these and I had to get: Sucker Punch, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Town, Golden Compass
All total it works out to right around $16 each, which isn't that bad.
I'm expecting WB to announce the Premium Collection digibooks in the US any day, now that I've broken down and imported!

I see you're in the States - can you confirm if these are Region free?

It's Warner, so they're obviously region free....

Yeah like insomniac013 said, they are most likely going to be Region Free. Once I receive them I will confirm.

rickah88 · 03-21-2013, 09:19 PM

Finally got my order today, and all 5 arrived in very nice shape. Batman Begins had a slight tear on the bottom of the slip, but hard to notice. I'm assuming that didn't happen during shipment.
While I have not had a chance to pop these into the player, I'm pretty sure all are Region Free, except Golden Compass which looks Region B(symbol on the disc).
I still hope the US starts to put these out, as they are absolutely gorgeous!

One question, I see the German version of The Town is listed in the OP, but it's not listed on the site? I'll add it, but don't want to create a dupe. I did several different searches and couldn't find it.

rickah88 · 03-23-2013, 04:05 PM

I added The Town(German) to the databae, if the OP want to link it:

aequalszero · 04-27-2013, 12:17 PM

Still keeping my fingers crossed for a Dark Knight Rises one of these, to match the Begins and TDK releases. Come on, Warner!

Yeah, now that I broke down and got them from Germany, I'd pick up TDKR as well.
I'll never understand why the US can't get this great digibooks outright?

I love that 'Iron Man' one O_O
